Burnley are aiming to overlook the league table ahead of this fixture vs Southampton. Here's all you should know pre-match!

Insights:
  • Southampton have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Burnley have less rest than Southampton in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at West Ham United.

Burnley form and stats

Burnley's struggle is real here at Turf Moor with only 15 points collected from 15 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-6-6.

The Burnley coach Dyche and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus West Ham United (placed 7th). The Burnley goalkeeper Pope was crucial in the match against West Ham United last time out, making six saves. Weghorst, who plays in attack, was the best performer for the side in that game, scoring a rating of 7.83 (out of 10). Weghorst scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Norwich City.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Burnley as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Wolverhampton Wanderers are visiting.

Burnley aren't scoring a lot here at Turf Moor in the league, with only 13 goals from 15 games. On the other hand, Burnley have conceded 20 goals.

Southampton form and stats

Southampton have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 3-5-7 (15 played).

Bednarek scored in Southampton's previous match, the home game against Arsenal that ended 1-0. Southampton goalie Forster was high and low in the Arsenal game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Forster (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.35. Forster topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that, the 0-6 home loss versus Chelsea.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Southampton manager Hasenhüttl as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Southampton have scored 17 goals on their travels this season, from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Southampton, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

The fixture lists shows this result when the squads played each other previously this campaign; Southampton - Burnley 2-2. Head to head data (for the preceeding ten meetings): Burnley won four games, four matches ended with a draw and Southampton got two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
